https://www.classic-costume.co.uk Welcome to the page for Classic Costume, where you can find images of costumes I make, costumes I like, news of other costume makers, sellers and auctioneers, pictures and links to other costume related stuff - shoes, hats, gloves, fabrics and haberdashery, plus 'Mad Costume of the Month'
Its lovely to see and hear what other people are doing - stops me going nuts talking to the sewing machine - and you are welcome to share your costume photos and comments.

Sense and Sensibility 2026; I thought it was lovely, visually enchanting, soft and worn fabric and sets, acres of muslin and lovely Dartmoor, plentiful petticoats, not an iron in sight. Lots of loose hair and shirtsleeves visible, ladies waistcoat with buttons on the right - costume designer knew what she was doing :-)
Loved the London Ball scenes - and Fiona Shaw as Mrs Jennings was a standout for me.
Cannot comment on deviations from the novel as there was no functional hearing loop available at Plymouth Arts Cinema, yet again. πŸ™„πŸ™„
